How often should I get a massage?

The frequency of massage sessions is determined by your individual needs, goals, financial ability, time schedule, and priorities. Some individuals find regular weekly, biweekly, or monthly sessions to be beneficial, while others prefer occasional visits for specific issues or relaxation.

It's important to note that by only opting for occasional visits, any knots and kinks in your muscles may become tougher to break, causing discomfort and impacting your overall well-being. It's crucial to prioritize self-care and address any small pains or uncomfortable feelings before they escalate.

Listening to your body and maintaining open communication with your massage therapist is key. If you choose to come to me for a massage, I will assess your unique situation, considering factors such as your health condition, stress levels, and lifestyle. Based on this evaluation, I will recommend a frequency that suits you best.

Is massage therapy painful?

Massage therapy should not be inherently painful, especially when received on a regular basis. Communication between you and me is crucial throughout the session to ensure a comfortable experience. It's important to openly express your preferences for lighter or deeper pressure, as well as your specific goals for the session and areas of priority. Whether you seek mental relaxation or aim to eliminate muscle tension, the level of pressure may vary depending on different body parts. For instance, your back may tolerate more pressure than your calf muscles or quads, and vice versa.

While there is a popular saying, "No pain, no gain," it doesn't necessarily apply to every massage session. Pain tolerance varies among individuals, and it's essential to work within your comfort level. If you are sensitive and find deep pressure uncomfortable, there's no need for me to dig deeper as your body will resist it. On the other hand, if you can handle deep tissue work and enjoy feeling the benefits the next day, then we can focus on working through those kinks and knots to their full extent.

It's worth mentioning that certain techniques or areas of tension may cause some discomfort during the massage. However, I will always prioritize your comfort and ensure that any discomfort remains within your tolerance level. Clear communication and feedback during the session will help me to adjust the pressure and technique accordingly, providing you with a satisfying and enjoyable massage experience.

Can I get a massage if I'm pregnant?
